Umbilical arterial (UA) Doppler assessment is used in surveillance of fetal well-being in the third trimester of pregnancy. Abnormal umbilical artery Doppler is a marker of uteroplacental insufficiency and consequent intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) or suspected pre-eclampsia.
In special cases, a detailed examination of the fetal heart and connecting vessels may be done at 20 weeks by a fetal cardiologist. This scan is especially recommended for women with a family history of heart abnormalities, or where increased nuchal translucency had been found at the 12 week scan.
